Squint at any photo credit in our magazine (or any other food publications for that matter), and you’ll spot the name DYLAN + JENI again and again. That’s Dylan Ho and Jeni Afuso, the husband-wife team who have become one of the most sought-after food photographers in the industry. And while they’re constantly traveling around the world, shooting new restaurants and bars on assignment, their true passion is photographing street food, from grilled squid along the coast of Japan to vats of cow feet and chickpea stew in Tunisia. One of their favorite cities to hit? Mexico City.
“I love street food because it’s the perfect way to experience culture,” Ho tells me over the phone. “It brings the rich and the poor, the young and the old, all together at this one stand serving amazing food.”
The duo have been back about a dozen times since their first visit in 2007, and they’re always seeking out different taco stalls, breakfast spots, and pozole vendors with each trip. For them, finding gems throughout CDMX is like a scavenger hunt, a quest that requires some real leg work and clue sleuthing, all for the sake of the next mind-blowing meal. Here, Ho shares some of their favorite discoveries in a city that breathes, lives, and runs on street food.
